I feel like a lot of the bad reviews on here are by people who know the Murdaughs which is making me giggle. How sad.
Anyway my thoughts on the documentary: I watched this after seeing the outcome of the trial. I knew a little bit about the boat incident but I like how in depth they went into it. It broke my heart. It also broke my heart seeing Paul's ex talk about her experience with him as I had a similar experience with my first serious boyfriend.
They made me feel terrified and like I was actually at the boat scene. I liked that they went into detail about the Murdaughs. The police not wanting to comment on anything is solely due to the fact they let this family get away with so much crap over the years, it's disgusting.
I had no idea about the other deaths of Stephen and Gloria so that was interesting to hear about, I feel like a bit longer could have been spent on stephen's because his was a definite murder.
Very happy with the outcome of the murder trial. Reminds me of John List a bit.

Excellent overview of Murdaugh scandal, including the power they had in Hampton Country, South Carolina and more specifically the town of Hampton. This power included the fear of local law enforcement and local townspeople had in crossing the Murdaugh family. It covers an overview of the Murdaugh dynasty, which has come to a close now that Alex Murdaugh has been disbarred and fired from the powerful law firm that his great grandfather started and with his son Baxter thrown out of the University of South Carolina for plagiarism.
The scandal begins with the boating accident caused by their son Paul who was later murder along with his mother Maggie up through the "attempted" suicide on Alex's life.

There is an ongoing trial about this family and it is shocking to see how much privilege and entitlement going on in that community. No one is safe in a setting where a group of people can get away with anything and never learn from their mistakes. It is heartbreaking to see how many lives were damaged permanently because no one could question the power of this family. You see how a generational legacy can turn into a trainwreck.
This story is far from being complete. There are still a lot of missing pieces and the time will tell how this scary movie will end. I'm wondering how things will work out for Buster.

Five mysterious deaths occur on four separate dates in the last ten years in the lowcountry region of South Carolina and each one has a connection to a powerful dynastic legal family in the area. First a young gay man, alleged to have had a same-sex relationship with one of the two young sons of the influential Murdaugh family, is found dead late at night lying in an unnatural position on a country road. No arrest is made but the local grapevine points the finger at the oldest of the two sons of multi-millionaire local attorney Alex Murdaugh.
Then, a few years later, the younger Murdaugh son is allegedly drunk at the wheel of a small boat which crashes and sees one of its party of teenage passengers, a 19-year-old girl thrown out into the water and drown.
Next, the Murdaugh's 57-year-old family housekeeper of 20 years dies at their residence after reportedly tripping over the family dog and falling backwards down the brick entrance steps and hitting her head.
Finally and most recently, Alex Murdaugh himself is charged and as of this morning, convicted of the murder by the shooting of his wife and younger son, but not before he has bizarrely botched his own death, paying a third party to shoot him, in order that his surviving son can claim on his life insurance.
Deemed by many as untouchable in the small area where this empowered family resided and presided, Murdaugh was finally brought to book, with all of the above details and more unfolded in not one but two explosive separate TV documentaries, one by HBO, the other by Netflix.
"Oh what a tangled web we weave..." Murdaugh Sr said in his own defence on the stand but seriously, Spiderman himself couldn't have created a bigger or stickier one than we get here. Besides the tragic deaths, we learn that Murdaugh Sr was a serial embezzler, even defrauding the surviving family of his late housekeeper of a multi-million liability pay-out he himself had instigated on his own household policy, set up barely months before. Murdaugh claimed that the money he stole was swallowed up by his opioid addiction though the point was effectively made that even with the high cost of his palliative drug of choice, it could only have amounted to a fraction of the actual amount he took.
Told in Netflix's typical tabloid-style, fast, flashy documentary style, with multiple interviews, usually from multiple angles, together wirh sometimes unnecessarily morbid reconstructions, like the aftermath of the boat crash and especially an unnecessarily tasteless graphic image of the dead housekeeper's trainered feet posed at the top of a set of stairs, this was nevertheless addictive true-crime, only-in-America trash TV, which for all its ugliness and garishness, was compulsive viewing for my wife and I.
By sheer coincidence, we only watched the final episode last night and have woken up this morning to read the headline news that Murdaugh Sr has indeed been convicted of the murder of his wife and son on circumstantial, but obviously to the jury, convincing evidence.
Somehow though, I think there may be a further twist to come in this fantastical tale. Apparently at one point in his father's trial, his surviving son tried to pass his father a John Grisham book, the irony being that even at his most imaginative, the author himself couldn't have concocted a plot as unbelievable and improbable as this.

After watching multiple documentaries, special news reports, etc. On the lives of the Murdaughs, a southern institution of a family, I was very pleased to find this docuseries actually gives more screen time to Mallory Beach, the REAL victim, and not to the insane, evil murdaugh family and their conspiracies. (Although the audience is given information that I've never heard before on the specifics of their swift and direct interruption of the investigation.... facts provided unbiased from the kids on the boat and their parents, who must finally feel unthreatened to speak openly.)
This was more of a tribute to Mallory, a testament to her as a person, as well as recognizing the pain all of the kids endured, versus a shockumentary on how unabashedly despicable the Murdaugh clan ruled over the innocent community for a century.
Yes, there is focus on the other deaths and events involving the murdaughs specifically, but FINALLY the audience gets to know the reality and loss of this teenager, as a human being.
That is what is missing in so many true crime documentaries. The focus is on the perpetrator, rarely on the victims.
